Being south Jersey I’ve always assumed these stories had beer involved. In swimming holes I’ve been in that hand accross the leg was a tree limb.
For those looking to put this in the GPS, the nearest business is A&A Salvage, 241 E. Piney Hollow Rd. Williamstown 08094 RayC
From
njwildlifetrails.org/PineBarrensTrails/Sites/tabi...ite/325/Default.aspxThe legendary "blue hole" at Winslow WMA is a circular pool of water about fifteen(?) feet wide(Looks like 150" to me, RayC). Created by a spring that no longer flows, the water is crystal clear to depths of almost twelve feet. The legend is that the water is ice cold and bottomless, and a home of the Jersey Devil.
To reach the blue hole, Turn Left onto the first sand road off of Piney Hollow Road, 0.7 miles from Rt. 322. (That would be north of AA Auto Salvage)(There are 2 rusty while pipes with orange tops on either side of the drive, RayC) Continue a short way through the woods (.3 miles) to a small parking lot with a "shooting range closed" sign.(No sign on 2/2615) From here, hike the first trail to the right (Blue markers on trees) - you will pass through bogs of blueberry and cranberry and arrive at a clearing with the famed pond. The hike is less than 1 mile total. It is not advised in wet weather as the sandy trail will be mostly underwater.
You could canoe or kayak to the washed out bridge but there doesn’t seem to be an easy launch at Piney Hollow rd and the river.
